2017 SsangYong Tivoli XLV – Stylish Exterior and Interior
Design

The Tivoli XLV is set apart from standard model mainly because
of its length. XLV model is 9.3 inches longer than standard
Tivoli. However, despite the additional length, both models
have the same wheelbase.

This is because XLV’s body is lengthened from behind C-pillar.

roof. Also, there is an additional third row of side windows.
Tailgate design is boxier while taillights are larger and have
a new cluster layout.

There is a new bumper up front to set it apart from the
standard model. Rather than general body coloured insert,
bumper features a black insert with dark grey edges. Fog lamps
also have chrome surrounds. The roof rails are larger and
longer, which allows carrying larger object on the roof.
